"So many people still died."

Rentaro Satomi clenched his fists, and as Lin Yu descended from the sky, while everyone looked on in awe, he strode forward.

"Why didn't you make a move?" Rentaro Satomi said to Lin Yu, suppressing his anger. "If you had made a move, these people wouldn't have died at all!"

"Satomi-kun! Don't talk to your brother like that!"

Kisara quickly came up, glared at Rentaro Satomi, and then gave Lin Yu an apologetic smile. She knew her brother, whom she hadn't known for long but who held a very important place in her heart, very well. If he really got angry, Rentaro Satomi would definitely be in big trouble!

"Hey, Kokisara, so your body's actually joining the battle too!"

Lin Yu patted Mu Geng on the shoulder, then leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Remember to leave the door open tonight, I'll come looking for you."

"Huh?"

Kisara was still a little confused. By the time she understood what Lin Yu meant and jumped up in fright, the latter had already turned his gaze back to Satomi Rentaro.

"You're quite an interesting person. Why should I necessarily take action?"

Lin Yu shrugged innocently. Satomi Rentaro should be glad that he was in a good mood. If it were any other time, Lin Yu would probably have frozen him into an ice pop.

"You clearly have the ability to solve all of this, yet you choose to stand idly by. Do you even deserve to be called a hero?"

Rentaro Satomi's words made Lin Yu's eyes narrow slightly, with a hint of mockery.

"I don't think I've ever considered myself a hero. It's just wishful thinking on your part. Besides, I've done so much for the Tokyo area, and what have you given me in return? To take to the streets and drive my Shana out?"

Lin Yu glanced around at the police officers, most of whom avoided his gaze. The reason and process of Lin Yu and Shana's declaration had already spread throughout the Tokyo area. Under their uncompromising statement, those who had previously clamored to drive out the cursed child had gone into hiding. No matter how bold they were, they dared not provoke trouble at this critical juncture. The public had already placed the blame for the loss of two guardians on them, and if they continued to complain, they would be courting death.

"Remember this clearly: I said I would no longer intervene to protect the Tokyo area. The only reason I'm standing here is because I don't want to see these children die. I hope you won't mistake my leniency for indulgence!"

After saying that, Lin Yu slowly walked towards the camp, ignoring everyone. Rentaro Satomi clenched his hands as he watched Lin Yu's departing figure, while Kisara clutched his chest, his heart pounding.

"What does my brother mean by this? Leaving the door open for him tonight? Could it be... could it be that he wants that? But this is too sudden! I'm not ready for this! Ugh, what am I thinking?!"

Putting aside Kisara's frantic mood, Lin Yu's role in this war was merely that of a support personnel. He would never participate in any combat. Even those whose heads were blown off by Gastrea were simply unlucky for them. As long as the others were not killed in one blow, he could save them. Therefore, although the number of dead on the battlefield was not small, there were strangely no wounded.

Ding!

After squandering his strength for a whole day, Lin Yu's power had weakened to its lowest point, but in just an instant, a vast power of existence once again filled Lin Yu's entire body. The hour had come!

"Is this Onii-chan's power? It's so strong!"

Tina's voice of admiration echoed in her mind. She and Lin Yu had essentially formed some kind of peculiar contract. This contract allowed Tina to sense everything about Lin Yu, and even use his power within a certain range. Tina already possessed a very strong foundation in combat, but this world, devoid of any mysteries, limited her development. After being able to use Lin Yu's power, Tina's strength might not necessarily be much lower than Lin Yu's.

Unlike Lin Yu, who was a latecomer to the martial arts world and was once a shut-in, Tina grew up receiving combat training from a young age. It wouldn't be surprising if she surpassed Lin Yu after acquiring equal strength.

Of course, Lin Yu only possesses one power. Although it is not impossible to divide it into two, Tina has positioned herself as Lin Yu's weapon. Therefore, her growth path is already fixed. When the two powers can be perfectly combined, they will definitely be able to unleash amazing combat power!

"Tina, come out for a moment."

Although Lin Yu could force Tina to appear in the outside world, he preferred to let her come out on her own rather than force her. While Tina wouldn't mind either way, it involved a matter of respect, which Lin Yu was mindful of.

"Onii-chan?"

Almost without warning, the blonde, adorable little girl appeared in front of Lin Yu. Luckily, Lin Yu had already moved to a secluded corner, otherwise she would have been scared out of her wits.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to hug you."

As Lin Yu spoke, he picked up Tina. The little girl's body was light and soft, and the touch was wonderful.

"Feel sorry."

Lin Yu pressed his face against Tina's, unusually this time not because he wanted to take advantage of her, but simply to feel Tina's warmth.

"Onii-chan, you don't need to apologize."

Tina reached out and wrapped her arms around Lin Yu's neck. She understood why Lin Yu was apologizing, and a satisfied smile unconsciously appeared on the little girl's lips.

“We saw everything Onii-chan did after we died. It wasn’t Onii-chan’s fault, so there’s no need for an apology.”

He gently rubbed his face against Tina's. This time, the fact that Tina and her sister were able to be resurrected was considered an unrepeatable miracle by both Gaia and Alaya. It was purely by accident that he succeeded. Thinking about it now, he felt a chill. In this world where there were almost no threats, his vigilance seemed to have been too relaxed, so much so that he failed to notice the abnormality in Tina and her sister's bodies in advance.

Fortunately, they were all alright, otherwise Lin Yu really didn't know what he would have done.

"It's really lucky to have met Tina."

Lin Yu sighed with emotion. Originally, his affection for Tina was merely that of a character from the original work, but now he had genuinely come to like this simple little girl.

"I am."

The two of them were hugging and rubbing against each other. If a single person saw this, they would probably be so jealous. At the same time, Lin Yu should be glad that Xia Na wasn't here. Otherwise, the proud Xia Na would probably be thinking about where to start.

"Alright, let's go find Xiaomugeng and the others. They have nowhere to stay tonight, and they should have settled in by now."

Lin Yu chose to come here alone for two main reasons. First, he wanted to spend some time alone with Tina, who had just been resurrected, which he had already accomplished. Second, he wanted to wait until Kisaragi and the others had settled in before going over to freeload off them, which was a win-win situation.

"Tina must be hungry too, let's go mooch a meal."

After finally enjoying the little girl's soft, cuddly face, Lin Yu carried Tina towards the police force's encampment, showing no intention of putting her down.

"Oh, we're here, this should be it."

Reaching an abandoned hotel, Lin Yu smiled with satisfaction and went inside.

"Oh! Dinner's already ready? Would you mind if a couple more people came to freeload?"

The hotel's spacious lobby had clearly been cleaned; while not exactly spotless, it was certainly safe enough for someone to stay in. In the middle of the lobby, a long table was laden with a sumptuous Western meal, which was quite luxurious for this time of year.

"You bastard!"

Rentaro Satomi instinctively slammed his hand on the table and stood up, but Lin Yu, who was holding Tina, ignored him and walked directly to the table.

"The food is pretty good, although it's still a bit worse than what I get."

Lin Yu clicked his tongue, acting as if he didn't consider himself an outsider. The blonde loli instinctively wanted to retort, but she wilted when she thought of Lin Yu's identity; his past as a hero was quite intimidating.

"Brother? What brings you here?"

Kisara blushed slightly at the thought of Lin Yu's whispers to her earlier, but thankfully, the candles provided illumination, so it wasn't too noticeable.

"I need to eat too, you know?"

Lin Yu snapped his fingers, and a crystal-clear ice chair materialized before everyone's eyes. Lin Yu locked the cold air inside the ice crystal, so even though it was made entirely of ice, it wouldn't make anyone feel cold.

"What, you're not even going to give me dinner?"

Lin Yu scanned the area and finally stopped at Katagiri Tamaki, who was wearing glasses. The latter jumped up in surprise.

"There's still plenty left, I'll go get some."

After saying that, he left in a hurry. He didn't dare to be as unrestrained as Rentaro Satomi. In the ten years since Lin Yu disappeared, the people in the Tokyo area had almost mythologized him. To Katagiri Tamaki, Lin Yu's appearance was like an earthling meeting God and the other party was going to have dinner with him. Although it was not that exaggerated, it was close. No wonder he was so nervous.

"What's wrong with Brother Lin Yu's eyes? Why are they so dark?"

Apart from Rentaro Satomi and Kisaragi, none of the people present had much interaction with Lin Yu. Therefore, even though they saw Lin Yu with dark circles under his eyes, they pretended not to see him. The only one who could ask this question was the lively Enju. Although she was not very familiar with Lin Yu, she had a pretty good grasp of Lin Yu's lolicon nature. At least she was sure that Lin Yu would not get angry at her for asking this question.

"Hey, Yeonju!"

Rentaro Satomi was startled by Enju's words. In his opinion, Lin Yu was the kind of person who was unpredictable. He still remembered the scene when he froze two policemen in the abandoned building. If Lin Yu hadn't run fast, he probably would have been crushed to death.

"Cough cough..."

Lin Yu's smile suddenly froze. He had forgotten that he still had Shana's handiwork on his face before he came here. He had deliberately avoided the dark circles under his eyes when he was healing the entire battlefield. This was a punishment for himself. Who told him to bring along another little girl to bond with?

"Haha, don't worry about it, don't worry about it. I'm just tired because I haven't slept for several days. I just need to get some rest."

To Rentaro Satomi's relief, Lin Yu did not get angry. He still did not understand Lin Yu's lolicon nature. How could a gentleman with a lolicon soul get angry at a loli over such a small matter?

However, after Lin Yu's explanation, the expressions of everyone else present became strange. This legendary hero seemed to be... somewhat different from their imagination?

"Here you go."

Katagiri Tamaki even used honorifics. He had just gone to serve rice to Lin Yu and Tina, so he didn't know what was going on here. He just felt that the atmosphere seemed a little strange, but he didn't think much of it.

"Stop staring at me, eat your food, it'll get cold if you don't eat soon."

Lin Yu said something, picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of soup in front of him, blew on it, and then brought it to Tina's lips, who was still being held in his arms.

Come on, ah~!

This wasn't the first time Tina had been fed by Lin Yu. She immediately opened her little mouth happily, put the whole spoon in her mouth, slurped up the soup, and then opened her mouth again with a look of enjoyment, indicating that she wanted more.

Lin Yu was instantly charmed by their adorable expressions, and immediately began to happily repeat the actions. Their public display of affection, seemingly oblivious to others, left everyone else bewildered and unsure how to react. Meanwhile, Mu Geng had already bent the spoon in her hand with her bare hands. How long ago was she to be treated like that?! (To be continued.)

196. He is Lin Yu!

"Whew, having a cup of tea after a meal is truly the best treat."

Lin Yu really wanted to complain about why these people would bring luxury items like black tea during a battle that was crucial to the survival of the entire Tokyo area. The dinner they had just had was so lavish that it was more like a group tour than the aftermath of a major battle. If they hadn't been able to defeat the Gastrea, all this carefully prepared food would have been useless.

Generally speaking, in short-term wars that only last a few days, carrying dry rations like compressed biscuits is the best approach. Once the fighting gets intense, there's simply no time to prepare complicated food, let alone leisurely drink tea. However, considering there are so many cute little girls around, Lin Yu is too lazy to lecture these clueless guys.

Everyone in the room stared at this hero, who was originally just a legend, with strange looks as he sipped his red tea while cuddling a cute little girl and rubbing his face against her with obvious enjoyment. His loli-loving nature was exposed, and the glorious image of the hero collapsed in their hearts.

"You can say whatever you want, just pretend I don't exist. I'm just here to freeload."

Lin Yu waved his hand dismissively, indicating that everyone present, except for the Child of the Curse, twitched at the corners of their mouths. They did want to ignore Lin Yu's presence, but Lin Yu's heroic status was undeniable, and they had all grown up listening to Lin Yu's exploits in his battle against Taurus over the past ten years. It would be strange if they could ignore Lin Yu.

"Hey, Rentaro, why did Aldebaran run away? Was it because of Mr. Lin Yu?"

While Katagiri and Tamaki might still feel a bit reserved because of Lin Yu's identity, Enju, who had already interacted with him several times, didn't have such concerns. Children don't have as many reservations as adults, so she broke the somewhat stiff atmosphere as soon as Lin Yu finished speaking.

This question really surprised Rentaro Satomi for a while. He subconsciously looked at Lin Yu, but the latter was busy feeding Tina black tea and didn't pay any attention to him at all.

"I don't know. There are a lot of rumors, and this possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, ten years ago, someone even killed its superior. Although I don't want to admit it, the higher the level of Gastrea, the more intelligent it is. Perhaps it still remembers what happened ten years ago."

Rentaro Satomi was saying this on purpose for Lin Yu to hear, but the latter completely ignored him.

Ten years ago, Aldebaran launched an attack on the Tokyo area together with Taurus. At that time, Lin Yu was busy dealing with Taurus, and Shana was fighting against flying Gastrea. So Aldebaran, a giant Stage IV, escaped the disaster and led the few remaining Gastrea to retreat after Taurus died.

If Aldebaran hadn't been mentioned, everything would have been fine. But once Aldebaran was brought up, everyone's gaze towards Lin Yu became strange. After all, for this lolicon, killing Aldebaran and resolving this crisis would be an incredibly simple matter. Everyone knew very well that Lin Yu, who could kill the Zodiac Gastrea, could easily destroy Aldebaran.

Unfortunately, the two guardians who were capable of easily resolving the crisis announced that they would no longer protect the Tokyo area before the disaster broke out, due to the actions of a group of incompetent teammates. Coincidentally, even Rentaro Satomi suspected that Lin Yu had planned all of this in advance.

However, he was still quite self-aware. Satomi Rentaro also understood that Lin Yu did not have a good impression of him, so he did not ask. After all, if this person was determined to stand by and do nothing, could he force the other party to take action?

"Speaking of which, besides Aldebaran, the 'Spear of Light' is also a major threat. Although my brother's ability can instantly restore those who are not killed in one blow, there are quite a few people who have been instantly killed by the 'Spear of Light'."

Kisei's expression was somewhat grave. The casualties caused by the 'Light Gun' were even greater than those caused by the entire Gastrea army. If this could not be resolved, it would pose a significant threat to the police force.

"The Lance of Light!"

Lin Yu, who had always seemed like an outsider, suddenly interjected after hearing about the Light Spear.

"Speaking of which, it attacked me and Shana ten years ago. I remember Shana casually threw a fireball at it. It seems that the thing was lucky; it didn't burn to death."

The so-called "Light Gun" is actually a jet of mercury fired by a Stage IV Gastrea codenamed Pleiades. In the original work, Kisara was able to deduce mercury poisoning from the symptoms shown on the wounded. However, this time, because of Lin Yu, there were no wounded except for those who died in battle, so it was impossible to deduce anything.
